Gender parity at all levels of the planning and decision process is a persistent, insistent theme at World Streets. We do not mind repeating and being annoying on this topic, if that is the case. We invite you to consult past articles and ongoing campaigns on women and leadership in our sector here at http://worldstreets.wordpress.com/category/users/women/

Strategy 5. Design for women:Our old mobility system was designed by, and ultimately for, a certain type of person (think about it!). And so too should the new mobility system: but this time around it should be designed to accommodate specifically women, of all ages and conditions. Do that and we will serve everybody far better. And for that to happen we need to have a major leadership shift toward women and, as part of that, to move toward full gender parity in all bodies involved in the decision process. It’s that simple.
